Expert Review and Insights
In a commercial environment, reliability trumps everything. The Olympia GD167 nails this. It’s a proper workhorse, dispensing with the fragility of glass in favour of a robust steel construction that will pay for itself by avoiding constant replacements. It brews a clean, consistent cup and is exactly the sort of no-nonsense equipment a busy barista appreciates.

- Pros: The all-metal build is virtually unbreakable, a huge plus over glass models.
- Cons: Lacks thermal insulation, so coffee cools faster than in a vacuum-walled pot.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Pilkington Manor, a charming guesthouse in Bakewell, Peak District, was constantly replacing shattered glass cafetieres from their breakfast service. They needed a more robust solution that still looked premium for their guests.
"We were tired of the expense and hassle of broken coffee presses. Switching to these stainless steel models from Olympia was a brilliant move. They look just as smart, our guests love them, and we haven't had a single breakage since. They're utterly dependable."
Robert Davies – Owner
The switch resulted in a 100% reduction in breakages and replacement costs within the first six months, significantly improving operational efficiency during the busy morning rush.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water before the first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
- For best results, always use coarse-ground coffee to prevent sediment passing through the filter.
- Pre-warm the steel pot with hot water before adding coffee grounds to help maintain temperature.
- Allow coffee to brew for around 3-4 minutes before slowly and evenly pressing the plunger.
Keeping It Going
- This cafetiere is fully dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
- For a manual clean, dispose of used grounds and rinse all parts with warm, soapy water.
- Periodically unscrew the filter mesh from the plunger for a deeper clean to remove trapped coffee oils.
- If you're in a hard water area, occasional descaling will keep it looking and performing its best.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the best type of coffee to use?
A: A coarse, even grind is best. A fine grind, like for espresso, can pass through the mesh filter and create sediment in the cup.
Q: How many mugs of coffee does this make?
A: The 400ml capacity makes one large mug or two to three smaller, traditional coffee cups.
Q: Can I use this on a hob to heat water?
A: No, this is a brewing device, not a kettle. You should add hot water to it; never place it directly on a heat source.
Q: Is the handle comfortable to hold when the pot is full of hot coffee?
A: Yes, the handle is designed to stay cool enough for safe and comfortable pouring.
Q: Can I brew loose-leaf tea in it?
A: Absolutely! The mesh filter works just as well for containing loose tea leaves as it does for coffee grounds.
Q: Does the satin finish scratch easily?
A: The satin finish is quite robust for normal use, but like any metal surface, it can be scratched by sharp or abrasive objects.
Q: How do I get the filter apart for a deep clean?
A: The base of the plunger assembly simply unscrews, allowing the mesh filter and plates to be separated for thorough cleaning.
Q: Is this a commercial french press coffee maker?
A: Yes, its stainless steel construction and dishwasher-safe design make it perfectly suited for daily use in commercial settings like cafes, hotels, and offices.

Ever notice a slightly 'off' or plasticky taste from an old coffee maker? That can often be down to the plunger. Many French presses use plastic components in their filter mechanism, which can degrade, warp with heat, and even absorb coffee oils and odours over time. The Olympia GD167 features an all-steel plunger mechanism, and that makes a real difference.
Think of it like cooking with a wooden spoon versus a stainless steel one. The wooden spoon can absorb strong flavours, while the steel one rinses clean every time. This plunger works the same way. The solid steel construction ensures no unwanted flavours are imparted into your coffee, giving you a pure, clean taste of the beans, just as the roaster intended. It's a small detail that guarantees a better, more consistent brew for your customers, cup after cup.
Who Should Buy This?
- Boutique Hotels & B&Bs: An elegant and durable upgrade for in-room coffee and breakfast service that won't easily break.
- Independent Cafés: Ideal for offering personal-sized pots of fresh filter coffee directly to customers' tables.
- Office Kitchens & Receptions: A reliable and stylish choice for staff and client coffee that outlasts typical domestic models.
- Restaurants & Bistros: Perfect for serving after-dinner coffee or as part of a breakfast menu with a professional touch.
